The Malayalam film industry has just witnessed a historic cinematic moment. L2: Empuraan, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran and headlined by the legendary Mohanlal, has stormed the global box office to become the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time. In an astonishing feat, the film surpassed Manjummel Boys’ lifetime earnings in just nine days, cementing its place as a modern Malayalam blockbuster.

A Phenomenal Box Office Run

Empuraan has raked in over ₹250 crore worldwide, making it not only a regional success but a pan-Indian phenomenon. While Manjummel Boys—another recent hit—collected ₹241 crore over its theatrical run, Empuraan surpassed this number in less than two weeks. The film is continuing to perform strongly in theatres, both in India and overseas.

In India alone, the film has grossed ₹106.50 crore and is poised to soon outpace 2018, which currently stands at ₹110.50 crore, to become the second highest-grossing Malayalam film domestically.

Key Box Office Highlights:

  • Fastest Malayalam film to cross ₹250 crore globally
  • Third highest-grossing Malayalam film in India (₹106.50 crore and counting)
  • On track to surpass 2018 (₹110.50 crore) soon
  • Third highest-grossing Indian film of 2025, behind Chhaava (₹800 crore) and Sankranthiki Vasthunam (₹255 crore)

A Power-Packed Sequel With a Stellar Cast

A sequel to Lucifer, L2: Empuraan brings back Mohanlal in the enigmatic role of Stephen Nedumpally, continuing the character’s journey in a much darker and more intense storyline. Directed by actor-director Prithviraj Sukumaran, the film doesn’t just build upon its predecessor—it expands the cinematic universe with global stakes, gripping political drama, and a deeper look into the power play behind the scenes.

Joining Mohanlal is a strong ensemble cast that includes Manju Warrier, Tovino Thomas, Suraj Venjaramoodu, and internationally acclaimed actor Jerome Flynn (of Game of Thrones fame), adding global appeal to the narrative.

Triumph Amid Controversy

Despite its commercial success, Empuraan has also stirred controversy. A scene that resembled the 2002 Gujarat riots sparked backlash from some quarters, prompting the makers to remove two minutes and eight seconds of footage. Nevertheless, the film has continued to draw crowds, a testament to its powerful storytelling and massive fan following.

A Big Win for Malayalam Cinema

The film is jointly produced by Aashirvad Cinemas, Sree Gokulam Movies, and Lyca Productions, bringing together some of the biggest names in Indian film production. With lavish visuals, a pulsating score, and meticulous direction, Empuraan is not just a commercial juggernaut—it’s a landmark in Malayalam cinema’s global rise.

Currently, Empuraan stands as the third highest-grossing Indian film of the year, just behind Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava (₹800+ crore) and Telugu star Venkatesh’s Sankranthiki Vasthunam (₹255 crore). Its success underscores how regional cinema continues to break barriers and win hearts across linguistic and geographic borders.

L2: Empuraan isn’t just a sequel—it’s a cinematic movement. With Mohanlal’s commanding screen presence, Prithviraj’s visionary direction, and a plot that resonates beyond state lines, the film has set new benchmarks for Malayalam cinema. As it continues its dream run at the box office, Empuraan has proven that great stories, when told with conviction and craft, know no limits.
